Fennel is a flavorful culinary herb and a perennial favorite with delicate, feathery green fronds and a bulbous base that exudes a sweet, anise-like fragrance. The bulb is crisp and can be sliced for adding a licorice note to salads or slaws, while the stalks are ideal for infusing broths and soups with a warm, aromatic quality. The fronds serve as a delicate garnish, offering a similar but subtler taste compared to the stronger bulb. Fennel seeds, often found in the flower heads, are common in spice blends and can be toasted to intensify their sweet, pungent flavor. This versatile vegetable is also packed with vitamin C, fiber, and essential minerals, making it both a nutritious and tasty addition to a variety of dishes.
